part 11

By Di_Hard on Sun, 15 May 2022

wheels to rotors

By Di_Hard on Fri, 06 May 2022

in the chrysalis of shock we change - made to fight for self respect or flight on wings of fear high above what once we held dear. All the DNA that...

butterfly moment

By Di_Hard on Sat, 30 Apr 2022

truants of moonlight soft as forgetting wings, pale, delicate flicker in arcs then fold, as hair-fine feet cling, taste star white wild garlic...

Those poor mothers, they will

Posted on Tue, 15 Mar 2022

Those poor mothers, they will be feeling so guilty! I did not understand from the article if the children were still to be put in care? It sounded like the police were unsure what to do, to stay on the right side of the law. What a horrific thing...

It begins with the quiet

Posted on Mon, 07 Feb 2022

It begins with the quiet

of an owl's wing, mist muffled,

of river breath hushed

this is so magical. Perfect. I like the timeless feel of the rhyme of bone and known, and the cast of birds waiting in...

I don't understand why it is

Latin music. Crickets chirping.

Like a favela in Rio or anywhere

But for the sound of Geordies burping.

I cannot imagine how

Posted on Tue, 16 Nov 2021

I cannot imagine how indigenous people from forests must feel, the woods are so important to me, but it cannot possibly be the same as for them. This is the appeasement stage, where those in the know are aware there's something terrible out there...

Have just read this aloud as was irrisistable :0)

I can imagine children loving it, particularly

"Anaconda large and long
with a squeeze that’s very strong"

It is such fun to say all through!

Posted on Tue, 14 Sep 2021

Was totally involved, you have great details, like the bathwater washing over the edge, and the kitchen chair scraping, Bruce going round and round before curling up. It was very moving to read, particularly when he was in the bath. And the end/...

Enjoyed this very much! Is the birthday of the narrator significant? All the details are brilliant, particularly the bit about intern for Markle :0) I wonder whether in a populist system Elgar would be played over loud speaker? Maybe latest...
